This document outlines the syllabus for a course on power quality. The course covers 5 units: introduction to power quality, voltage sags and interruptions, overvoltages, harmonics, and power quality monitoring. Measurement techniques and tools like PSCAD software are also discussed. The objectives of the course are to understand factors affecting power quality, measurement techniques, and tools to analyze and improve power quality. Assignments and seminar topics relate to specific power quality issues like voltage sags, overvoltages, harmonics, and measurement equipment.
